Replication 15.7 includes several changes to improve usabilty and processes.
Reduce the Use of Replication Definitions
In a replication system containing only Adaptive Server databases, you can reduce the need for replication definitions for tables in a warm standby environment or multisite availability (MSA) environment because RepAgent for Adaptive Server uses Log Transfer Language (LTL) to specify a table or column name that may be quoted, and whether a table column is part of the table primary key.
Changes to rs_functions
Several new system tables have been added to Replication Server 15.7 in place of rs_functions .
Memory Consumption Controls
The configuration parameter memory_limit has been enhanced to control memory consumption and prevent Replication Server from automatically shutting down when it exceeds the defined value of available memory. A new configuration parameter, memory_control, manages the memory control behavior of threads in Replication Server.
Unicode Enhancements
A new Data Server Interface (DSI) configuration parameter, unicode_format, has been added to support sending Unicode data in U&” format.
Requesting SySAM License Information
Replication Server 15.7 introduces a new command, sysadmin lmconfig, for configuring and showing license management-related information.
Subscription Name Extension
In Replication Server 15.7 or later, the subscription length limit is increased to 255 characters from the previous limit of 30 characters in rs_subscriptions.
Stripping Trailing Zeros
Set varbinary_strip_trailing_zeros to off to enable the replication of trailing zeros in varbinary values.
